Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Installation Guide

The following illustration shows the uses for access ports and conference 
ports. 

Most people who use MeetingPlace must be assigned a user profile. User 
profiles identify and define the limits of user access. The information in each 
person’s user profile identifies the person as an end user, a contact, attendant, 
or system manager. User profiles also contain administrative and preference 
information.

Because multiple users might share common attributes, the database includes 
user groups, with which you enter information for several users 
simultaneously. You can also import profile information from another 
database (for example, from your voice-mail or e-mail system).

A user profile is required for anyone who wants to schedule a 

meeting, including vendors, consultants, and other people who may not work 
for your company. People who use MeetingPlace only to attend meetings or 
listen to recorded meetings do not need user profiles.
